Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-seven

Eileen Chang talked about several hateful things in life, besides reiterating her predecessors' crabapple without fragrance and shad with many thorns..., she also added a deep hatred that "Red Mansion" is not finished, so I will continue it with the dog's tail. Begonia is not necessarily fragrance-free, just as some sound wave vibration frequencies cannot be felt by the human ear, but it cannot be called "fragrance-free".I think the "fragrance concentration" of crabapple flowers is too high, so the human nose cannot enjoy it, so it is not "fragrance-free".

This proves that she also loves Haitang, so that's fine. As for hating the bony shad, I don't agree with it—it's not that the shad has no spines, but that ordinary people can eat this kind of fish?People's shad are not born just for you to eat, they have more thorns and fewer thorns, what's the matter with you?It's really boring because of the thought of "this". It's meaningless and quite boring.This is another example of her "failure to avoid customs". As for hating "Red Mansion" for its incompleteness and false continuation, I can't help but feel sympathy for it.

Zhang Ailing's words are restrained, and there are few exaggerated, excessive, impulsive, and emotional words.Only Yu Gao E showed no mercy, and even "broke his tongue" and complained. She called Gao's "dog's tail", and said that the forty chapters after the pseudo-continuation were "necrosis attached to the bone".This has penetrated into the woods and made me understand.Who knows, she still scolded fiercely, saying: "Gao E deserves to die!" She is not afraid of "public wrath", and her words shock the world's corrupt Confucians and low-minded people.

These words showed that she held hatred so much that it was like a stick in her throat, and she couldn't bear it if she didn't spit it out! — Just like she didn't praise Xueqin directly, she didn't see why Gao E was so hateful? The "dry cold" has already been mentioned in the previous article.This is only an artistic feeling and has nothing to do with connotation. She feels that "the sky is dark, and everything is tasteless", and she also has an artistic sense, without ideological judgment. Hu Feng saw through and exposed the pseudo-continuation as an unprecedented fraud; Zhang Ailing couldn't say that.

Is this the difference between the two expressions? Nowadays, there are still many factions that hold high and restrain Cao.This is not the topic of this book, so I don't want to get into it; I just want to say: Did they see the words "death is more than guilty"?If you have seen it, what do you think?Did you curse Zhang Ailing, slander, ridicule, personally attack, and vent your anger? The poem says: During the years when Cao Gao was attached to the bones, since the dog's tail shouted joy. More than dead, Gu Tian was shocked, thunder and lightning frightened ghosts and chills.
